Timo Werner revealed Frank Lampard sold him to Chelsea on his Stamford Bridge vision.

Timo Werner has insisted he made the “hard decision” to join Chelsea in order to win top titles.

The £53million RB Leipzig recruit admitted interest from the likes of Liverpool, but revealed Frank Lampard sold him to Chelsea on his Stamford Bridge vision.

Werner hailed Lampard’s £200million Chelsea overhaul, backing the Blues to capitalise on that rebuild and chase major honours in England.

Liverpool had shown strong early interest in Werner but where the Reds baulked at the fee due to the coronavirus impact Chelsea were able to swoop for one of Europe’s top talents.

Now settling into life at Stamford Bridge, Werner insisted Chelsea quickly became his top choice once Lampard explained his Stamford Bridge plans.

“I’ve come here to win titles, Chelsea is a big club and a club that always wants to win,” said Werner.

“For me I always want to win every game. So it’s clear we want to win titles.

Lampard sold Werner on Chelsea as much on his man management skills as outlining a bold vision for the west Londoners’ future.

Werner revealed Lampard sent him video clips of his attacking blueprint for Chelsea, in pursuing the highly-regarded German striker’s signature.

“It was a strange time, we couldn’t meet each other and we met each other here for the first time because of the virus,” said Werner.

“But he called me a lot, we had a lot of conversations, he texted me a lot and he sent me some videos where he could show me what style of football he wants to play.

“So for me those were important things to know about moving to a new club.

“Because I loved to play for Leipzig and everything was well for me there.

“So it was really important for me to come to a team with a vision that fits my style of football.

“And I think the whole Premier League fits very well to my style of football, because it’s so fast, and fast players have really good space. Space to go there and play well.

“And it was really important that he gave me the feeling that the system he wants to play will fit me very well.

“The conversation with him was also really important, he’s a very nice and calm guy, who makes it clear what he wants and what his football style is.

“And he makes it clear that you’re not only a player but also a person.

“Not like a friend because he’s the manager and you have to have a respectful relationship.

“But also he sees you the other way, as a person, not just as a footballer, so that was really impressive for me and that’s one of the reasons why I came here.”
